Surgical Research LaboratoriesHead: Michael BergmannResearch Area: The task of the laboratory is to combine molecular/cellular biology and the needs posed by surgical patients. Thus, the laboratory acts at the interface between clinical medicine and basic research, promoting translational medical science. Members:

Research interests

The research focus is on thoracic diseases.

The research is patient oriented.

Thymic diseases: Thymic epithelial tumors, Myasthenia gravis

Pulmonary hypertension: CTEPH and iPAH

Lung transplantation

The characterization of molecular targets involved in pathophysiological pathways in patients with thymic diseases or patients undergoing lung transplantation or pulmonary endarterectomy surgery is the focus of our laboratory.
